Default Strange mouse cursor movements


Hello,

Last few days my mouse cursor has been spontaneously "jumping" to different
corners of the screen. It happens several times a day at random, but
usually right when I move the mouse after not touching it for a brief period
of time. Since this problem has only been occurring for about a week, I am
wondering if somehow I picked up a trojan or other malicious software.

The last time it occurred, I ran a "netstat -a" command from the command
prompt. This was the result:

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State

I would appreciate if anyone could tell me if something stands out as a
vulnerability. Thanks.

Default Re: Strange mouse cursor movements
I would try another mouse, in case the mouse is defective. I have seen a bad
mouse cable do what you are describing.

With wireless mice, I have seen them do random operations as well. They can
get interference from wireless networks, cell phones, and cordless phones.

I am using a relatively inexpensive laser mouse. It's been in use for well
over a year, so maybe that's the problem. Thanks.
